We have a lot of things going on. But we have a great relationship with her, a very friendly standpoint for a long period of time now.

Ronda Rousey, a former UFC champion, made an appearance at WWE’s Royal Rumble event in Philadelphia. Her appearance led fans to believe she is going to compete in a wrestling ring very soon and the news after the event confirmed it to be true.

Rousey is no stranger to the WWE. She made an appearance at WrestleMania 31, the company’s biggest show of the year, in 2015 alongside Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and looks like her appearance Sunday may begin the build up to another WrestleMania moment in April.
